This scientific study of the Deep Aquifers was prepared to better understand the conditions of the Deep Aquifers, the geographic extent and hydrogeologic characteristics. 

The study reaffirms the critical state of overdraft and risks to this source of water supplies and highlights the risk of seawater intrusion and land subsidence along the coast if pumping and groundwater level declines continue in the Deep Aquifers.

The Deep Aquifer Study confirms that sufficient data exists to manage the Deep Aquifers and provides scientific guidance for management and monitoring.
